With last night's shake up in Italy there has been a marked re-assessment of prices in betting markets on the Tour. Cadel Evans has drifted from $1.80 to around $2.80 (not surprisingly - does this look like a man with the hardness to win the tour), with Denis Menchov (would be some chance of eating a dog were it to get him the yellow jersey in Paris!) now challenging for favouritism at $3.80 in from $5. It is then $10 each of three - Frank Schleck, Carlos Sastre, and Bernhard Kohl.
Given current pricing the best option would appear to be to lay Kohl at $10. He was a relative no-name before the start of the race and doesn't really have the cycling pedigree of the other riders at the top of the GC. It would be a massive shock if he wore the yellow jersey in Paris. Just ask Lance Armstrong (c/o cyclingnews.com):
"To be honest I have been surprised by [Bernhard] Kohl though. I've simply never heard of that guy before the race. Who is he?"
